You _might_ want to try dropping the drivers/usb tree from 2.5.x into 2.4 (and the usb files in include/linux/usb*.h too) and see what happens. Odds are the build process will not work, and I think some of the usbfs changes will also not work. But it would be interesting to see what you found :) So in short, I don't think that you could test out the 2.5 code on 2.4. Is there some reason you can't run a 2.5 kernel? Personally I run it on lots of different machines (laptops, desktops, servers, etc.) successfully. If you can't run a 2.5 kernel, you can just take a look through the code, and tell me what you think of that. Readability is one of the criteria I'm going to be using. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
